Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesI would have like to be a little more central to everything, especially in the downtown area but was still a good spot for the price.
Hotel is well maintained with a friendly staff and parking on site. Convenient location to most spots to be able to walk around.

United StatesParking is by valet only and costs $35/night. There's other pay parking lots nearby but the cost savings is minimal, especially if you leave/return multiple times. On-street parking right near the hotel is 2 hours max.
Nice spacious clean room. No issue getting a cot. Breakfast was pretty good but wish there was more fresh fruit. Super convenient location. Everything was clean and staff were helpful. There's a grocery store and a Walgreens just a few blocks up, an easy walk.

United StatesThe downtown waterfront Portland area is geared towards people without young children. Lots of pubs, and other adult activities. Not worth staying in the downtown if you have small children.

United StatesThe price was really exorbitantly high. I would have appreciated water fountains on more floors. The only one I found was rather hidden - on the way into the pool.
Staff was excellent and I was able to check in early which was great because I arrived in Portland in the early morning. Room was great. Hotel location is great.

United StatesADA room had low toilet and tub, not a same-level step-in shower. My elderly disabled mom could not get off the toilet herself- even with grab bars- nor take a shower or bath. Desk chair was also low. disappointing since we had requested an ADA compliant room. Also, the breakfast was sub-par typical chain hotel fare- yuk. they ran out of things too. Parking at hotel was $35/day! cheaper lots across the street or on-street for free. there should be no charge for parking when the hotel is already expensive.

United StatesDon’t pay for ocean view room, ocean blocks away. Room pricey ( clean room but nothing spectacular) Beds short( wasn’t a problem for me but if you are over 6ft definitely get king size bed, ours were queen). Costs $35 per night extra for valet parking if you use. You could also park on street ( right In city so they have to valet park because parking lot limited in space.
Clean, modern, breakfast hot and something for everyone( don’t expect restaurant food) but decent. Pool great for kids and was clean ( bring water shoes for toddlers, area around the pool slippery when wet). Hot Coffee, tea, hot chocolate station free throughout day!! Coffee was good!
